Server-Supported Signatures

چکیده
Non-repudiation is one of the most important security services. In this paper we present a novel non-repudiation technique, called Server-Supported Signatures, S 3. It is based on one-way hash functions and traditional digital signatures. One of its highlights is that for ordinary users the use of asymmetric cryptography is limited to signature veriication. S 3 is eecient in terms of computational, communication and storage costs. It also ooers a degree of security comparable to existing techniques based on asymmetric cryptography.

Keyless Signatures' Infrastructure: How to Build Global Distributed Hash-Trees
Keyless Signatures Infrastructure (KSI) is a globally distributed system for providing timestamping and server-supported digital signature services. Global per-second hash trees are created and their root hash values published. We discuss some service quality issues that arise in practical implementation of the service and present solutions for avoiding single points of failure and guaranteeing...
متن کاملAn LDAP Control and Schema for Holding Operation Signatures
In many environments clients require the ability to validiate the source and integrity of information provided by the directory. This document describes an LDAP message control which allows for the retrieval of digitally signed information. This document defines an LDAP v3 based mechanism for signing directory operations in order to create a secure journal of changes that have been made to each...
متن کاملFault tolerant system with imperfect coverage, reboot and server vacation
This study is concerned with the performance modeling of a fault tolerant system consisting of operating units supported by a combination of warm and cold spares. The on-line as well as warm standby units are subject to failures and are send for the repair to a repair facility having single repairman which is prone to failure. If the failed unit is not detected, the system enters into an unsafe...
متن کاملMinimal-footprint Middleware for the Creation of Qualified Signatures
Qualified electronic signatures are recognized as being equivalent to handwritten signatures and are supported by EU legislation. They require a secure signature creation device (SSCD) such as a smart card. Unfortunately, there are neither standard means for the integration of SSCDs with Web applications, nor are the exiting means widely deployed. Web application providers are still faced with ...
متن کاملImproved server assisted signatures
It is well known that excessive computational demands of public key cryptography have made its use limited especially when constrained devices are of concern. To reduce the costs of generating public key signatures one viable method is to employ a third party; the server. In open networks, getting help from a verifiable-server has an advantage over proxy-based solutions since as opposed to prox...
